Military

Republic of Japan Navy

We are based in Kure (Naval Base), Yokosuka (Naval Base and Aresenal), Sasebo (Naval Base and Fortifications), Maizuru (Naval Base and Fortifications), Onimato (Naval Base and Fortifications), and Airanzu (Naval District) with a fleet of surface and aerospace ships whose prefixes are "ROJN", in addition we also have a fleet air arm that is present on both surface and aerospace ships.

Surface Fleet

ROJN Yamato (BBG-01), sunk during a suicide mission, called "Operation Ten-go" during WWII, she and her sister ship Musashi (BBG-02) were raised and became the first ships commissioned into ROJN service.

ROJN Shinano (CVN-01) was the half-sister of the Yamato-class and converted into carrier during construction. She was sunk during WWII, but was found and salvaged from her watery grave.

ROJN Mikasa (DDG-01)

The ROJN Tsushima (CC-01) and her sisters are some of the first major capital ships built from scratch in the navy. They have great firepower and good speed, but is slightly lacking in the armour department, though still is better armoured than many other contemporary battlecruisers.

The ROJN Niyodo (CAV-03) is an aviation cruiser. Carrying a large number of scout bombers, she shows much influence to KISDF design, in terms of armouring, engines and overal firepower, with her large 46cm guns at the front.

ROJN Kongo (CA-01)

The ROJN Hiōkami (CC-08) of the Hiōkami-class is one of 3 light battlecruisers. Based on the B-65-class and Senjo-class cruisers, she is used for scouting and raiding. 2 more similar ships were rebuilt as hybrids, forming the Ryūho-class.

Based on the Hiōkami-class, the Ryūho-class aviation battlecruiser had her aft guns and all plasma cannons removed. One 46cm turret was replaced by a 40.6cm turret and they are positioned slightly differently. She has an offensive complement of 27 aircraft, but many more can be carried in her hanger under the flight deck.

The Ishuzuchi class were built by the KISDF for the ROJN. They will lead cruiser squadrons into battle.

The Hiraga class battlecruisers are more powerful versions of the Hiōkami class already in service. They were built to meet concerns of the YIN and are much better armoured.

The Tora class battleship is a heavily armed and armored warship in service with the YIN. She is also flagship of Admiral Yoshi Hitari.

The Sakurasou-class Battlecruiser is a mishmash of most ROJN ships with an edge over her older counterparts but are designed to operate alone.

The Watatsumi-class carrier is the largest home built carrier yet in service. At 535m long and 110m wide, she combines all about what her designer, Shukishi, knew about carriers. A unique feature is her twin largue Island, which are not placed symmetrical.

The Kawaichi-class is a light battlecruiser modeled on the old Kongo class. Though her gun armament would qualify her as merely a cruiser, her missile batteries give an extra punch.

Shogun-Class Catamaran - TBA

The Muyasama-class of carriers are an improved version of the Watatsumi-class. Slightly longer at 550.8m, she has improved hangers, flightdecks and elevators, along with new radar.

IJN Wadatsumi (CVE-01)

The Type 41-class Heavy Missile Cruiser is a class of 4 such ships, intended for escorting the carrier and battleship fleets, as well as acting as an independant force, with their powerful array of weapons, from twin energy cannons to 72 missile launchers.

The Admiral Yamamoto, originally an old KISDF cruiser, it has been upgraded for its new role as a training ship and as an experiment platform for new weapons, radars and electronics.

The Shinshū Maru-class are a class of 4 Maru/Merchant Aircraft Carriers designed to acheive a number of missions, including striking enemy ships with aircraft, supporting and launching amphibious assaults and transport goods like armoured vehicles and tanks.

The Nagasaki-class battlecruiser. They are very powerful vessels that can be used to lead cruiser divisions on scouting anf raiding missions. They also have large command centres, ideal for the flagship role.

The DCTB-1B are bought torpedo boats from B&K, they were bought out of a need for fast multi-role vessels. In addition to being well armed with torpedoes, each boat is rated to survive at least two 460mm rounds while carrying 2 5inch turrets and 2 25mm AA turrets.

The I 25-class is the first class of submarines in the ROJN. They are fast and turn very well, along with having plenty of firepower.

The Type 81 Cuiser. A powerful missile equipped vessel, they wield an impressive ammount of guns, missiles and comprehensive armour.

The Type 84 is an aviation cruiser design for long range raiding and scouting. Though carrying less aircraft than previous aviation cruisers, her missile firepower is vastly superior.

The Tengu-class Missile Cruiser is the second of the newest generation of missile cruisers used by the ROJN, with much more firepower than the Type 81 cruiser.

SDF-00, a heavy and immobile fortress given to us by ANF a while back, it is currently stationed inside Kure Naval District.

Aerospace Fleet

The KG-7 Aerion is a upgraded version of the KG-6 Sureipunīru armed with more 2040mm guns, a pair of devastators guns, and more AA railguns at the loss of heavy missiles but retains the railgun, 460mm, and 105mm guns as well as it's airwing.

Recently obtaining a refit, the now full five ship class of Kami-class Light Aerospace Fortress is now better then ever, upgrades included more missiles, AA weaponry and a centralised railgun imbedded into the hull.

The KG-6 Sureipunīru is a all-round light aerospace multi-purpose frigate armed with mostly 530mm, 460mm, and AA railguns with secondaries of 2040mm guns and a centralised railgun. In addition with a lot of heavy missiles, the KG-6 Sureipunīru embarks an airwing of 72 fighters.

The Nippon-Class Heavy Aerospace Warship's concept came into being as a larger and more powerful version of the Kami-Class Light Aerospace Fortress, the older design had been enlarged, included a bigger central railgun, more 2040mm guns, and Devastator guns while losing missiles, medium-rated AA protection, and large amounts of secondary weapons.

Kageryu MK II is a command ship. Originally a surface cruiser and the flagship of the KISDF, the Kageryu was modernised into a flying ship, with much more powerful weaponary, including the Ragnarok Buster. It is also the first ship to have the FARBAS installed.

The Amaburi-Class Heavy Cruiser was the beginning of the revamp of new flying ship production of Japan, honestly, there's nothing terribly special about it I guess, except that it's more stronger and weaker then the Kami-Class Aerospace Fortress, the Kami has more MCMs, Devastators, AA, and 46cm guns while the Amaburi has more 2040cm and railguns. In addition, it also carries a small airgroup of 36 Atlas F/A-71 Wildcat II strike fighters.

The Anohana-Class Support Vessel came out of a necessity for a somewhat of a more general ship, due to the fact that previous ships followed a cramped layout of "huge railgun, big guns, missiles, AA, aircraft, and storage", as a result, vessels of the Anohana-Class have a rather large airing (not calculated yet), lots of internal space for carrying cargo along with the ability of being a assault carrier, many AA railguns and missiles, and finally, some big guns, but no railgun, as it would have taken too much space inside.

Aerospace Fleet Formations

YIN's Aerospace Fleet Formation are made firstly with defence in mind, as a result, most formations are committed to defence rather then offence. In addition, there are also many non existent fleet formations that are only put together for special purposes.

If the Grand Fleet formation for ROJN aerospace units has been formed, you can rest assured that we're either running away or going all out in a attack. But basically, it means every aerospace ship has been put in this formation.

2 Nippon Heavy Aerospace Fortresses

5 Kami Light Aerospace Fortresses;

Bases and Defenses

The Warp Termination Facility, or WTF for short, is a facility that is usually seen in the seas around Japan, as it's name suggests, it cancels out warping and causes the target to drop out of warp much further away from the predicted point (in this case, Japan). In addition, it is also well armoured and is equipped with 4 energy cannons for defense, the FABRAS system, and a submarine bay (the only way of entering).

Republic of Japan Army

The Republic of Japan Army (ROJA), is the land striking/defensive force of the Republic. It is split up into 5 districts, each with it's own offensive and defensive divisions. Due to the fact that most of the funding goes to the navy, the ROJA at this point is a little wonky.

Tanks

The Type 63 (63式戦車 Hiragana-shiki sensha) MBT is the newest tank within the Japanese Army. Designed by Misriah Armory, this design incorporates a 120mm cannon, 3 12.7mm machine guns, a 1 300hp engine, on a 45 ton chassis.

The Type 63 "Sniper" (63式戦車 "狙撃者" Hiragana-shiki sensha "Sogeki-sha" ) is a variant of the original Type 63 mounting a powerful 120mm railgun instead of the regular 120mm gun. Technically an "elite" tank, about 1 is issued in a group of 5 regular Type 63 MBTs.

The Number 17 tank is a new tank bought from the AIF company B&K. It is a powerful asset to the slowly growing ROJA and is issued to the 7th Armored Battalion in Hokkaido.

Ground Vehicles

Firearms

The MA37 "ASIMOV" Var. is an upgrade to the Misriah Armory exported MA37, the most obvious of which general sighting upgrade which is a 1x red dot equipped with a ASIMOV variant that includes the original ammo counter. In addition, the magazines have been reworked to be able to load 42 7.62x51mm NATO rounds. One of the last, and more smaller modification is the 1-shot, 3-shot, and fully automatic firing modes done the the gun,

The M6G Magnum Nippon Mod is a purely exterior only mod done by Howa to the M6G Magnums provided by Misriah Armory with a laser and flashlight added on to the front of the weapon, but the more noticeable modifications is the finer machining of the slide, reducing weight, a smaller safety catch that wouldn't extrude against the user's thumb (both sides), a more ergonomic grip, and a slightly darker/lighter refinishing.

The BR55 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle is a exported weapon from Misriah Armory which chambers in a special 9.5x40mm KURZ in a 36 magazine. Like the MA37, it is also a bullpup but is used in as designed marksman rifle until one is introduced.

The Howa Type 108A1 "CAWS" is a fully automatic, gas operated, drum fed 12 gauge shotgun frequently issued to tank and ship crews due to it's collapsible length along with a short barrel. In addition, it could also be fed with 7 or 3 round magazines for tactical uses to replace it's 16 round drum magazine. On the plus side, to increase it's lethality, the drum mag can be converted, in the field, to an anti-infantry mine.

The Howa Type 12 "CQSM" is a close quarter submachine gun that is actually not that close quarters at all, for you see, it chambers in a upgraded Howa/FN 5.7x31mm rounds in a drum magazine, giving the gun very good accuracy to medium ranges as well as a demon fast firing rate. The gun itself is highly useful, ranging from a submachine gun, to a supression weapon, to a godlike melee weapon (due to heavy drum magazine).

The M99B RSP is the first generation railgun sniper rifle produced by Mitsubishi, having recalled the M99A RSP rather quickly for a overall weapons refit, the weapon now includes the ASIMOV System as well as the capability to recycle it's energy, making battery magazines much more efficient.

The Type 44 Kai, is a short lengthened compact PDW/Carbine chambering in the same 7.62x51m NATO rounds as the MA37 "ASIMOV". Other features of the weapon includes the ability to share magazines with the MA37 "ASIMOV", as well as utilising the ASIMOV System, the weapons is also rather skeletal to save weight and space, and just in the case of suppressive fire, a bipod has been included along with a highly resistant heat covering of the barrel.

Mechs/TSFs/Mobile Suits/Kataprakts/Armslave

The Mechanical All-Terrain Robotic Intelligence System (MATRIS) is the first combat mech in the ROJA. Armed with an array of powerful weapons, they provide a powerful force that can operate in multiple different types on battle fields'

Republic of Japan Air Force

The Republic of Japan Air Force (ROJAF) is much more organized then the Army at this time, at least most of the time. Currently, the ground based air units are mostly modernized but stiff opposition with the naval based air units over modernization and all the changes that would have to be made to aircraft carriers and etc. This branch is divided into the standard Air Force and the Naval Air Force.

Aircraft

Fighters

The ATDX-6 Halberd is the basis of the many upgrades which transforms this aircraft into a interceptor and fighter bomber, however, this current version carries 2 130mm underside cannons in a traversable turret, 3 25mm autocannons, 2 57mm lasers, and multiple hardpoints for attaching misc. stuff and a bomb bay.

The ATDX-7 Arbalest is the pure interceptor variant of the original ATDX- 6 Halberd, it is fitted with missile pods as well as automatic wing and heavier AA turrets.

The ATDX-8 Laevatein is the fighter-bomber/ground support variant of the ATDX-6 Halberd, it has even more turrets and missile pods then the ATDX-7 Arbalest and is also fitted with 2 bomb racks.

The Diablo FA-6J is a stealthy, highly-agile multi-role fighter, with 2 rotary launchers in internal weapons bays for AAMs, ASMs and guided bombs. It also carries a 25mm cannon. It has much greater range than the 6M Version of the AFOH.

The Nagasaki A9N Zuiryū is a first home built flying craft of the ROJAN. It is ideal for extreme long range scouting missions and lightning quick raids, as it is extremely fast and nimble. Like the A6M however, it does lack armour, meaning it is easy to shoot down, though hitting it in the first place is another matter entirely.
